GRUNDFOS BIOBOOSTER

Cleaner water – Greener environment

Once upon a time..

The BioBooster project has been 10 years in the making..

Based on Biofilm theory a very efficient biological wastewater treatment was invented and constructed in reactors

Named PBR (Pressurised Biofilm Reactor) the technology is capable of reducing the biological load in process wastewater

Towards a containerised solution

PBR reference plants

Cleaner water - greener environment - require MBR-• The Grundfos BioBooster PBR - biological pre-

treatment with a removal rate of 80% was not enough

• The Grundfos BioBooster MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) allows for full treatment resulting in supreme water quality:

– allowing for direct discharge to receiving waters

– water reuse, in those areas where lack of water is a concern.

• The reactor, similarly to its predecessor PBR, is also placed in containers to ensure easy scalability.

Visionary leadership sets new targets

Sustainable use of water

•The odourless plant is located in urban clusters between 0.1 – 1.5 MGD

•WW is treated at the point source of pollution and reused

•Natural growth of industry requires a slight adjustment in treatment capacity

•Impact on surface waters is minimised

•Reduction in need for heavy investments in infrastructure

•A sustainable and decentralised solution that minimises uncertainty of funding and planning for extra capacity

Outcome: the local community is self-sustained

The ideal WWTP scenario

Two reactors, two patented treatment technologies

•Biological / mechanical Pre-treatment with PBR technology

•Full-treatment and water reuse with MBR technology

• Rotating disc system• 2100 discs• 2025 ft² biofilm

surface• Enclosed reactor• 18 ft long• Modular system

PBR construction

Odour free system

Flexibility of plant capacity

Constant high biofilm activity

Self-cleaning system– no CIP required

BENEFITS

• Two-layer rasping principle

• Uniform biofilm layer• Oxygen access to all

microorganisms

Optimised biological process

BENEFIT

Optimised biofilm process

• Enclosed reactor• Modular system• Fixed ceramic discs

with UF filtration• Rotating cross flow

impellers

MBR construction

Flexibility of plant capacity

Odour free system

Robust and durable design

High-quality effluent

Optimal flux

BENEFITS

Advantages

• Industrialised product

• Faster delivery time

• Lower investment in infrastructure

• Can be stacked on top of each other where footprint is limited

• Modular and easy to expand treatment capacity

• Easy relocation or resale thus protecting the invested capital

• Odourless and enclosed; can be therefore located inside urban areas

From vision..

Generic illustration based on 0.5 MGD

The plant consists of:

•1 Control container•1Pre treatment container•1 Supply/pump container•2 MBR containers (32 MBR reactors)•2 Denitrification containers•Sludge storage tank

…to realisation…
